The Green Bay Packers have worn many alternate uniforms over their history, from the 1950s all-green look to the 1923 classic threads unveiled last year. This week, though, they will debut something unlike anything before. Green Bay will wear its "Rivalries" uniforms against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
The look includes a desaturated vintage green jersey with alabaster pants and a matching matte helmet. The team says the alabaster color recalls the aged paper of historic Packers stock certificates. Because the franchise is publicly owned, fans can become shareholders, and more than 500,000 homes in Wisconsin display framed stock certificates, which inspired the design. The alabaster jersey numbers have an engraved treatment modeled on paper currency, a nod to the financial support behind the team. "Go Pack Go" runs across the back of the helmet, and "Making History Since 1919" appears inside the collar.
In throwback fashion, the New England Patriots are wearing their "Pat Patriot" look against the Las Vegas Raiders. The red uniforms feature tricolored shoulder stripes with white numbers, while white pants and helmets complete the look. The star of the show is Pat Patriot on the helmet.
The Week 5 uniforms for all NFL teams were also released, excluding the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers, who have a bye. Teams such as the Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with classic color schemes, while others, including the Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are showcasing bold combinations.
